Parker 1/2 Frame 12 gauge Question

[Live A Life Of Purpose]

I know the Parker 12 gauge 1/2 frame is very rare, but does anyone know if because of the smaller frame the gun barrels were able to receive a 2 3/4” shell or if it was a standard 2 9/16” round on the 12 gauge. I’m curious in my search as a few articles I have read talk about how much of a joy this gun is to shoot and it is on my dream board to find this gun down the road. Thanks Eddy

1/2 frames were very late Remington guns and the assumption is that they are mostly all 2 3/4" chamber guns. Hunt one down. They are sweet little guns.

2-3/4” was the 12g standard by that time.

And... contrary to believe, the 1/2 frame 12g is not really all that light.

Not for arguments sake but just for discussion purposes some are in fact light as the Frame size suggests , mine is a DHE 12 Ga. , has 28" Barrels and they are stamped " 3# " even and the gun weighs in at exactly 6 Lb. 12 Oz. ! Maybe some of you other members who have one will post Barrel Length and weights ?

Mine is stamped 2 3/4.

I seem to recall there is a 1/2 frame A1 Special out there fully optioned with long barrels that weighs over 8 pounds.

Unfortunately that gun is already sold.

I would hope Del Grego wouldn’t of sent a gun back with the screws looking like that?

Every time the 1/2 Frame gun is mentioned ,it is always said to be " Rare " which just accounting for how few we see they probably are ! I have seen an ad where the seller proclaimed 1 out of 75 or 80 guns ,has anyone ever attempted to do a Head Count of these wonderful guns ?
